With regards to the location of aclocal files. These files aren't
actually used by ports, at the moment. This means that if you area
developer, using these files you can copy them to wherever you want...

I like this idea anyway. It makes life much simpiler, and also it
doesn't mess with the X11 heirachy as much. At the moment /usr/local
has a BSD/GNU type heirarchy and a /usr/X11R6 has the X11 style. Just
because GNOME is an X11 app doesn't mean it belongs in /usr/X11R6.
